She couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly, and when she turned her head unintentionally, she met Harry Hall's gaze, which he cast unintentionally.
Their eyes met just like that.
Her heartbeat skipped involuntarily, and she hurriedly looked away, but in her panic, she didn't notice the pebble path in the yard, stumbled, and plunged into the bushes beside her.
Next to the bushes were some not-so-large rockeries, and Helen Melendy, tumbling down like this, was bound to get hurt.
However, at that moment, she had no way to avoid it, had braced herself for the injury, and shut her eyes tightly. But the next second, her waist was caught by a strong force and jerkily pulled back.
Helen was inwardly relieved to have escaped the ordeal, but then quickly realized who could have grabbed her at this time and her body stiffened abruptly.
